After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

What Coffee are you roasting this week

  • Finca Alaska 600gr in KKTO - Run hard on the full 235C after a 5 min drying cycle. Pulled just as a few puffs of smoke signalled second crack was imminent, and cooled in 25s to ambient. - Result: Black tea, bergamot, grapefruit. Great as a black coffee, needs maybe a darker roast for a single origin milk drink, though I think it'll benefit from blending if in milk.
  • Todays Easter roast on the KKTO is 600 grams of Brazil Pedra Redonda ( Catuai pulped natural ) KK
  • My easter roast was 300gm Java Kallistat and 300gm PNG as a blend.  Not sure if that's going to work, but they look my fancy! ;) Roasted to just on 2nd Crack (I heard a single snap as I pulled them out) at 18 minutes.
  • 300g of PNG Waghi on the Behmor pulled just before 2nd Crack, I've always let this hit a little into 2nd before so seeing what it's like just before!

    Haha, I've had a little bit stashed away as a cheer me up.  I loved the bean, it was awesome.
  • The Kalistat? I was also wondering!
  • Have had a busy time on my KKTO; First 27/3 800 grm Bolivia Vincenti Paye to 227deg                                                     no 2 1/4 1kg Rawanda Cyarumbo to 228deg                                                     no3 4/4 1kg Sulawesi Blue dark roast to 230deg blended                                                     with 10 day preroasted Indian Elk Hills Robusta 8/7 Italian                                                      no4 4/4 650 grm Yemen Al Haj Boaan 227deg for Me  All roasts were completed on a average of 16 minutes and into 2nd crack. This CS10 roast is our preferred style and will be enjoyed . I have yet to test my Vincenti Paye but am drinking a lighter CS8-9 compliments of Ministry Grounds.
  • Been a busy week, I have knocked over the following roasts: 1. Finca El Injerto - Capadocia Caracol -  resting at the moment (5/4) and for me and only precious me ;) 2. Indonesia Sulawesi Toraja - Kalosi  - drinking this at the moment (30/3) and pours like syrup. 3. Yemen Mocha Sanaani - also resting... Its a YBI wannabe  :( 4. Guatemala La Esperanza - Honey Processed  - roasted this for a bloke at work (5/4). Reading the positive notes on Brazil Pedra Redonda, I reckon this the next cap of the rank or do I crack the Rwandan Cup of Excellence Lot 7 Buf Remera open?  Decisions Decisons.... Life is so tough hey! Jonty

    I just roasted the same bean a couple days ago, I have no Idea what it is or why I ordered it? Should be ready in about a week, will see I guess...
  • 300g of Brazil Yellow Bourbon in the Behmor
  • Its raining and its quite heavy rain at that Time for two roasts on the KKTO Roast one - 700 grams of Wahana Naturals to first snaps of second crack Roast two a 900 gr blend ( easier to roast larger amounts following another roast on the KKTO ) 500 grams of Columbian Andes Santa Rita ( alas the last of it ) 400 grams of Zimbabwe AB FAQ Let the taste buds be tempted KK
  • I'm back to SOs for a while. 300g of Ghimbi 200g of Tanzanian TEC - first time I've done this in the Behmor, hope it works it's not a bean I like to waste, one of my favourites :)
  • This weekend has seen me do three roasts: 1. 350g Yemen Mocca from Bean Green - the tasting from last week made me do another batch! 2. I did 2 by 305g batches of Sumantran Wahana Estate back to back for the 10+ day rest period - thanks KK I am organized this time! Jonty
  • Was going to roast some musasa but couldn't find it - since tracked it down. Instead a small batch of finca Santa Clara. Usual medium roast, pulled about five degrees before second crack. Gotta love us siphon drinking hipsters eh?
  • Roasted another couple batches today  - one PNG highlands AA for espresso and one decaf, by special request as daughter wanted a coffee at 11:30 at night. Decaf went straight out the roaster and into the grinder.  Who drinks a cappucino at 11:30 at night? Well now I know. As I was making coffee anyway, pulled a short black of the decaf and it wasn't as bad as I expected. Fizzy, but not undrinkable.
  • This morning I roasted on the KKTO 2 X 600 grams of El Salvador Finca Alaska One batch for me One batch for Derrilex KK
  • Snap. I roasted a smaller batch (220g) of the same beans yesterday. Pulled at rolling first crack, around 14 min, lovely  cinnamon colour.  Will rest another couple days.
  • Managed to run a quick roast today during a 20 min break to fix broken  dryer (multi-tasking again). Nothing fancy, 200gram Brazil dulce, 30gram Indian elk Hill Arabica. 11:40 to first crack, pulled 16:00 just prior to rolling second. Espresso roast Why those beans? They came to hand. Was going to do single origin, then I thought, why not have both?
  • Three roasts tonight: 1. Tanzania Clouds of August, 325g 1IbP2B on the Behmor 2. Rwandan:Kuda Mas, 50:50 blend, 310g 3.  Sulawesi Toraja, 310g. I'll roast the last of ome Indian Elephant Hills over the weekend....
  • Beans are in the Koffee Kosmo roaster as I post One bean variety that slipped by me is 700 grams of the Guatemala Finca Santa Clara  First time I have roasted this one so expectations are high  :angel: A couple of shots for the home roasting enthusiasts Attachment not found.Attachment not found.
  • Busy three days in my roaster. Monday. 500 grm Panama Los Lajeans 223 deg 14min CS8-9.  Tuesday 650 grm Guatamala Finca El Enjerto  Capadosia Caracol. 226deg 15min CS8-9. Rawandan Buf Remera COE lot7 227 deg 15min CS9 Wednesday  625 grm Thailand ChiangMai 224Deg  14min CS8-9      bcspark
  • Okay, long time no contribute: Friday night past: 500g Rwandan Buf Remera (smells great) Today: my Mocha Java take 500g 50/50 Ethiopian Celba/Sumatran Blue Buttocks I love the Celba and am finishing off a 500g roast three weeks post.  At 93 on my machine the chocolate balances the fruit and it tastes heavenly. 
  • 450g Col Pitalito for Jonty

    450g Col Pitalito for Jonty
    That's a lovely looking roast @D KK
  • Improved hybrid going well KK. That was 8.30 to 1st C, a few burps and down to 200 for 1 minute then full whack until 2nd @ 12.20, pulled at 12.30
  • Nearly ran out of beans, so I threw in 500gm of Indo Blue Batak, hit FC at 11mins, and pulled at 16mins just on SC. :)  Turned out lovely, but I might have to sample a bit sooner than normal.
  • I find when I need to use sooner I just stir the grounds a bit more to help let the gas out seems to work anyway. I have some of that Indo Blue, I hear it is supposed to be pretty good if you can get it roasted right
